Students will learn the basics of bossy 'r' and why the 'r' is important! This course introduces 'r' into the world of vowels and allows students to see how the letter changes the way a word sounds. 1. Students will be first introduced to bossy 'r' through a short video that provides an explanation and examples of bossy 'r's role in words. 2. We will then review an anchor chart and examples of 'r' controlled words. 3. We will work on a "Just Dot it" worksheet now to get an understanding of the 'r' blends in action. 4. Next, we will work on a dinosaur word sort, separating words into 'r' blend categories. 5. Finally, we will work on the "Roll A R-blend" worksheet. If we have extra time, we will complete the "Dot and Write it" worksheet. The worksheet will also be sent home for further practice.

Please consider printing the Dab It! worksheets. There are two different copies of two different worksheets. One worksheet asks students to dab the 'r' blend represented by the word and the second worksheet ask students to dab the 'r' blend and write the word beside it.
